Isn't this the same breakage I reported in the initial series:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/174999

The discussion of which led to my remote helper fixes here:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/175217

But then the latter series got picked up and merged into Sverre's
